Playdates Rule!

Ezra can't wait for his "little" friend Finley to come over and play! But Ezra's parents are in for a surprise, because Finley isn't like Ezra's other friends--Finley is an elephant!

The two pals have some big, BIG plans, like: riding bikes, dancing in the tree house, and bouncing on the trampoline. But Ezra's parents come up with a list of rules. No piggyback rides. No loud voices. Absolutely no running inside.

No problem, though! Ezra and Finley have lots of ideas up their sleeves . . . and everything will be fine as long as they remember the most important rule of all: to always have fun!

This fun and funny friendship story is perfect for young readers and their parents who are all too familiar with their playdates.

Publisher Little Bee Books

When Goosey tells Lucy that they can't be sisters because she's a goose and Lucy is a dog, Lucy tries to prove that she's a goose, too!

LUCY: I love you, Goosey. You are my big sister.GOOSEY: No, I am a goose. You, Lucy, are a dog.LUCY: Look! I have glossy goosey feathers.GOOSEY: Those are not feathers. They are leaves.

Lucy loves her big sister, Goosey, very much! However, there’s one problem . . . Goosey doesn’t think that Lucy is her sister, because Lucy is a dog.

Lucy tries to show Goosey just how good of a goose she is. She displays her glossy goose feathers (made up of leaves), her goose honk (bark), and her nest of eggs (rocks), but Goosey isn’t convinced. Lucy may not be able to make Goosey think that she's a goose, but she is able to show her love for her big sister when she uses her loud bark to protect Goosey's eggs from danger.
